1.5 Connecting the MPI/DP Interface

You can connect your IPC to PROFIBUS-DP networks via the optically
isolated *) MPI/DP interface. The connection is established via SINEC L2
components for stationary links or via an MPI connecting cable with a length
of 5 meters for non-stationary links (order no.: 6ES7001-0BF00-0AA0).
SINEC L2 components and MPI connecting cables are not included with the
IPC and have to be ordered separately. The MPI connecting cable (5m) can
only be employed for data transfer rates up to 187.5 Kbps.

To connect your IPC to a PROFIBUS-DP network, proceed as follows:

1. Switch off your IPC.

2. Plug the connecting cable (of the SINEC L2 components or the MPI
connecting cable) into the MPI/DP socket connector of your IPC and
tighten the connector by means of screw-type locking.

3. Switch on your IPC.

!

Caution

Risk of damage to the unit!
Before plugging in the connecting cables, you must discharge the

electrostatic charge of the cables and of your body by briefly touching a
grounded object (ESD guideline).

You can network up to 32 devices (PC, PG, PLC or DP components) via the
MPI/DP interface in one segment. The interconnection to the PROFIBUS-DP
segments is established via an optically isolated *) RS 458 port, which is part
of the interface.

Interconnect several PROFIBUS-DP segments via a repeater.
The entire PROFIBUS-DP network has a maximum capacity of 127 stations.

The data transfer rate of the MPI network is 187.5 Kbps. The data transfer
rate that can be achieved via MPI/DP interface in the PROFIBUS-DP
network ranges from 9.6 Kbps up to 1.5 Mbps.

Note

For further information on configuring a PROFIBUS-DP network please
refer to the “S7-300 Hardware Manual,” order no.: 6ES7030-0AA00-8AA0.

1.6 Point-to-Point Connections

In this section, you will learn how to connect your device to a programming
device or programmable controller using a point-to-point connection.

You can establish a point-to-point connection by connecting the SIMATIC
PC to a programming device or a programmable controller via:

 A V.24 connection.
 A TTY connection.

Reliable data transfer depends on several factors. The data transfer rate you
can achieve depends on the distance, the type of cable, the type of interface
and any interference present.

You can reduce interference by choosing the right transmission cable and
connecting it properly, and observing the following guidelines:

 Use a shielded cable with a low surge impedance (< 130 W / km) and low

capacitance (< 90 pF/m). Twisted-pair cables enhance noise immunity
due to inductance. A low surge impedance results in reduced voltage
excursions and shorter charge reversal times. The larger the conductor
cross-section, the lower the surge impedance for the same length of cable.

 The shorter the transmission link, the higher the maximum possible data

transfer rate.

 If there is an active sender and an active receiver at the same end of the

transmission link, the sequence of access priority to the transmission
circuit must be taken into account in order to achieve the longest possible
transmission link.

 Signal lines and power lines must not be run together. Signal lines must

be installed as far away as possible from strong interference sources
(for example, 400 V three-phase power cables).

 The active TTY interface with 12 V no-load voltage has been tested on a

1000 m (3300 ft.) long cable at a transmission rate of 9600 bps in a
normal noisy environment (field strength < 3 V/m or 1 V/ft.). If a
shielded LiYCY 5x1x0.14 is used, reliable transmission is possible over a
distance of up to 1000 m (3300 ft.). The AS511 protocol (only one
transmitter at a time) was used for testing.

Note

The contaminating field of the interference source decreases exponentially
with the distance.

You can connect the BIxx/FIxx to a SIMATIC S5 programmable controller
via the COM1/TTY interface port.

Connect your BIxx/FIxx to a SIMATIC S5 programmable controller as
follows:

1. Switch off the BIxx/FIxx.

2. Plug the cable into the COM1/V.24 PLC interface port.

!

Caution

Risk of damage to the BIxx/FIxx!
The interface port may be damaged if you confuse the connections or use the

wrong connecting cables. Make sure the TTY cable of the BIxx/FIxx is
plugged into the COM1/TTY port and not into the LPT1 port.

Before plugging in the cables, you must discharge your body’s electrostatic
charge by briefly touching a grounded object (ESD guideline).

Use only the original cables to establish the connection to the programmable
controller.

The BIxx/FIxx and the programmable controller must be operated at the same
protective ground potential.

An adapter is available for connecting the programmable controller using
older standard cables.
